The video below is of Evan and I cutting the cake at our baby shower to find out the gender of our babies. So glad we have this on video, it was such an amazing experience!
Enjoy!
As all of you parents know, coming up with dinner ideas to keep the fam excited, is hard to do. it is even harder if you have someone who has food restrictions, or, like me, is just trying to eat healthier. Almost every day, Evan says "what's for dinner?" and 1 of two things happen. I irritably reply "I don't know Evan, why don't you help me think of something?" Or, I say "I'm not sure, baby, let me find something that looks good." and then this leads into a 2 hour sort through Pinterest - the black hole of all websites, followed by a 3 store grocery shopping extravaganza to find all the right ingredients. The question came up the other night, and as I was milling about my "food fantasies" pin board, I found a Shepherds Pie that looked like a big warm hug. Big warm hugs of food are what make me pack on weight like a bear heading into hibernation, so I thought I'd try a lighter version. The good news is - it was AMA...
This is my first full week of not being a student, not being an intern, not being an employee,but rather taking care of myself and being a stay at home pregnant woman. I have cleaned the apartment about 25 times (and it still doesn't feel clean enough). I go for walks, groom the cats, grocery shop, cook, read books, stretch, volunteer with the twins group we belong to, and meet friends for coffee dates. Part of me is loving the free time, and part of me is going crazy. Being busy with one, if not two jobs, plus going to school is manageable and for me and is what I know how to do. This "relaxation" as they call it, is new territory for me, I'm almost afraid to enjoy it, and I'm sure Evan is dreading the day I say "Babe, I'm not sure I want to go back to work, maybe I should stay home with the kids." Don't worry, it's not in my blood to not be working :) One of the things I am enjoying the most is reading a book called Trauma Stewardsh...
Do you remember that movie? I'm channeling Jennifer Lopez tonight. Not in an "defending myself from an abusive ex" way, but in an "I'm a super mom, and if you try to invade my home you will probably lose." sort of way. I should back up. Evan is in Austin for his bachelor party, undoubtedly 3 sheets to the wind - as he should be. I am home alone with the twins for a few days. It's my first time alone with them for more than a day, so I am already overwhelmed. Now this was just the icing on the "Are you kidding me?" cake. Earlier today I was at work and got a text from my nanny saying that my neighbor stopped by to tell her that he came home and interrupted some guys casing the complex. They had a lookout who saw him pull into the driveway, he yelled into the complex and a few guys came running out. I called the non-emergency line to report the "casing incident" and the lady said she couldn't help me. I begged her...
